You would think that if someone voted to strip healthcare from millions of people that they wouldn't celebrate it openly? But then again, Hitler held rallies too. Republicans, who complained that Democrats passed Obamacare without knowing what was in it, passed Trump/RyanCare today without knowing what's in it. Many even admitted they didn't read the...

Laughable Justice
During the confirmation hearings for Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, his Senate colleague and fellow Alabaman Richard Shelby said that Sessions' history of “treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and well-documented.” Did you just laugh?

Pucker Up For Free Speech

Presidential Street Value

Canned By ESPN
